The Professional Fire Fighters and Paramedics of North Carolina endorsed Richard Moore.

The union, which has 2,500 members across the state, cited the Democratic gubernatorial candidate's experience as secretary of crime control and public safety.

"Richard Moore has a track record and experience unmatched by any other candidate in this race," said president David Anders in a statement.

He also cited Moore's work as state treasurer managing the pension fund for public employees, including firefighters.

The union is an affiiliate of the state AFL-CIO coalition, which earlier declined to endorse a candidate in the governor's race and let member unions make their own endorsements.

Moore has also been endorsed by AFL-CIO member UNITE HERE.
